SENIOR ADVENTURES
IN MINISTRY

SeniorAIM is a ministry for retired or semi-retired citizens in the Lord's body. Students study the Bible and Bible-related topics in detail, with emphasis on how they apply to our lives today. 

Due to their many years of life experience, senior Christians have much to offer. They want to use their experience, knowledge, perspective, resources, and time to make a difference for the Lord. SeniorAIM students can unite these attributes with the biblical teaching and training they receive in SeniorAIM to increase their capacity to minister to others.

SeniorAIM is designed to:

  • Engage Christians in spiritual growth and service to others through teaching and short-term mission efforts.

  • Encourage individuals to use life experiences and skills to promote God's kingdom.

  • Edify disciples with a greater understanding of scripture and by fostering fellowship.

SeniorAIMers can serve anywhere — across town, across the country, or across the world. They participate in evangelistic campaigns, provide teaching in congregations, help with benevolent efforts, and contribute to the kingdom in a host of other ways.

Seniors know it’s not just about where you’ve been, but where God is taking you next.
